A family of tetrathiafulvalene (TTF)‐pyrene conjugates prone to gel various organic solvents was synthesized. Through a modular approach, the role of different chemical functions in the gelation process was assessed by varying systematically the alkyl chain length, the nature of the TTF‐pyrene linkage, and the number of pyrene units. Moreover, one of these systems was thoroughly studied by NMR, UV/vis absorption, and fluorescence spectroscopy as well as by cyclic voltammetry, which showed their high potential in the context of molecular logics.
